摘要

The future of the library has been a topic of great interest since electronics invaded the world of information. As information technology crept into the world of books and libraries, first replacing card catalogs, then indexes, abstracts, documents, newspapers, and journals with a computer monitor and keyboard, librarians have scurried to keep pace with the changes that technology has wrought. Doom-sayers, who are always ready to predict the worst, have been having a field day with the paperless society, the conversion from paper to electronic publishing, and the demise of the library as a physical entity. Others take a moderate view of developments and assume a wait-and-see attitude. Library seers have been busy recently, in spite of the fact that no one can know the future and predict with any certainty what will happen in the library profession more than a couple of years into the future. Randy Pitman, in his article "Welcome to Jurassic Library," takes a close look at the current situation in most libraries, analyzing the turf wars raging between the paper traditionalists on one hand and the technocrats on the other. Naomi C. Broering, in "Changing Focus: Tomorrow's Virtual Library," and T. D. Webb, in "The Frozen Library: A Model for Twenty-First Century Libraries," agree that the library will evolve, assimilating the technology that comes its way, just as it assimilated microfilm, phonograph records, cassette tapes, and other media, moving always toward the vision of the virtual library. Marion T. Reid, in "The Human Side of the Virtual Library," looks at the advantages and disadvantages of a virtual library from the point of view of the user, who should be able to access the library at any time from any place, and from the point of view of the librarian, who must adjust to communicating with remote patrons and may have to eventually consider providing his or her own work space. An interesting article for librarians is Johann A. van Reenen's "Library Cultures in Conflict: Exploring New Roles for Librarians," in which the author considers future roles for librarians and skill sets for the future. But will the library continue to exist? Of course. As long as the library can provide help and guidance in locating necessary information and as long as the library can provide that service and the accompanying information free of charge to the library patron, there will be a place for the library in society. It may not look like a library. It most certainly won't work as it does today, but the library of the future is real.

Broering)在“改变焦点:明天的虚拟图书馆”中和TD韦伯(TD Webb)在“冻结的图书馆:二十一世纪图书馆的模型”中,同意图书馆将不断发展,并吸收随之而来的技术,就像吸收缩微胶卷,留声机唱片,盒式磁带和其他媒体一样,它们总是朝着虚拟图书馆的方向发展。 Marion T. Reid在“虚拟图书馆的人文”一文中,从用户的角度研究了虚拟图书馆的优缺点,该用户应该能够随时随地访问该图书馆,从馆员的角度来看,他必须适应与远程顾客的沟通,并且可能最终不得不考虑提供自己的工作空间。约翰·范·雷嫩(Johann A. van Reenen)的“冲突中的图书馆文化:探索图书馆员的新角色”是对图书馆员的有趣文章,作者在其中考虑了图书馆员的未来角色和未来的技能。但是图书馆会继续存在吗?当然。只要图书馆可以在定位必要信息方面提供帮助和指导,并且只要图书馆可以免费向图书馆顾客提供服务和附带的信息,图书馆在社会上就会有一定的位置。它可能看起来不像图书馆。它肯定不会像今天那样起作用,但是未来的库是真实的。
